DIEGO FORLAN: “As soon as Barcelona said that Luis Suárez was for sale, I knew it was a mistake. It was obvious that he was still a very important player for this team, as he has shown. He scores, he assists, and he’s also a player with great impact off the field. You can see they miss him. It’s like when Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid. It wasn’t just the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, it was the departure of 50 goals a year.”

Once upon a time in the Champions League 😍

The Pitbull 🇳🇱

In 11 years at Chelsea, Azpilicueta only missed 12 matches with Chelsea due to illness or injury. In total he racked up 508 matches. A guy who is talked about very little. César Azpilicueta with Chelsea: ▪ 2013 Europa League ▪ 2015 Premier League ▪ 2015 EFL Cup ▪ 2017 Premier League ▪ 2018 FA Cup ▪ 2019 Europa League ▪ 2021 Champions League ▪ 2021 UEFA Super Cup ▪ 2021 (in 2022) Club World Cup He became the first player in the entire history of Chelsea Football Club to win EVERY existing title with the Blues.

🗣️ KARIM BENZEMA: "Cristiano Ronaldo said he’s the best footballer in all of history? I think everyone can say what they want. If he thinks he’s the best in history, that’s him. There are many. For me, for example, the best footballer in history is Ronaldo from Brazil." "But Cristiano is what he is. I don’t like making comparisons between players because everyone has their own story and he has his story."

GHEORGHE HAGI: “They always said I was the ‘Maradona of the Carpathians.’ But I never wanted to be anyone’s copy. My only goal was to show that a kid from Constanța could touch the sky without losing his identity. My soccer was intuition, rebellion, and a touch of madness. That’s how I understood this sport: improvising beauty.” “Over time I discovered that the hardest thing isn’t reaching the top, but staying true to yourself. And if I made one thing clear, it’s that in Romania we don’t just dream… we also make history.”

No, you don’t need to be a talented, prolific, fast, or magical footballer to be remembered by the fans. You don’t even need to be loud, deliver memorable quotes, or have funny anecdotes. You just need to leave your name engraved in football history. And Branislav Ivanović certainly did. 📊 377 matches for Chelsea ⚽ 34 goals 🏆 10 titles (Champions League and Europa League winner) 🛡️ Played as a left center-back, right center-back, and full-back. Tough, solid, tactical, a leader, and highly intelligent. He never had a bad game, he always delivered.

🗣️ RONALDO: "The day I tore my ACL, Zizou came to visit me at the hospital in France. He went out of his way to travel from Italy just to see me. At that time, I was playing for Inter Milan, and Zidane was at Juve. Without even telling me, he surprised me with a visit just to check on me. There’s no explanation for it. That’s when our friendship began." A COUPLE OF LEGENDS. 🤌

🗣️ John Terry: "Frank Lampard is the best Chelsea player ever. You can only single out two players to play consistently well and to score goals over the course of the last 10-15 years and that is him and Ryan Giggs. It was incredible, season after season to do what he did.”

🇪🇬 Mohamed Salah is one minute away from completing the set. The Egyptian star has scored in 89 of the 90 regulation minutes of a soccer match. The only one missing? Minute 9 ⏱️ If he scores in that minute, Salah would join an extremely exclusive club: 🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo 🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović 🇺🇾 Luis Suárez 🇵🇱 Robert Lewandowski Just one minute separates Salah from a rare piece of soccer history. 🤯🔥
